Description
In 1982, seven people in the Chicago area died after taking Tylenol capsules that someone had deliberately poisoned with cyanide.
The murders sparked nationwide panic, a massive product recall, and changes to medicine packaging that still protect consumers today.
More than four decades later, no one has been convicted of the killings.
The terrifying true story behind something we barely notice: the safety seal on a medicine bottle.
